Question

The value of y for which the expression (y+15) and (2y+1) become sides of a square

Answer 1

Answer:

y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 sides of the square are equal.

So y+15 = 2y+1

Solving by taking like terms together

15-1 = 2y-y

14 = y.

Answer 2

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sides of a square are equal,

(y+15) = (2y+1)

y+15 = 2y+1

y-2y = 1-15

-y = -14

The negative signs get cancelled, so

y = 14
